Resort begins its 40th anniversary season Friday, November 23, 2007 with a 14 inch base

Two lifts - Buttercup and Easy Rider - will operate 9 AM - 3 PM daily

On the way to the mountain stop by Portland Boarding Company for anything you may need to make the 2007-08 season the best ever.

Mt. Hood Meadows Ski Resort will begin its 40th anniversary season Friday, November 23, the day after Thanksgiving. The ski area has a 14 inch base thanks to the storm which dropped 22 inches of snow Sunday and Monday, and snowmaking which has been running around the clock since the temperatures dropped below freezing Sunday.

Two lifts - Buttercup and Easy Rider - will operate from 9:00AM to 3:00PM, with limited terrain offerings off of each of these lifts. Lift tickets will be $40 for adults and $30 for 7 - 14 year olds and seniors 65 and older. Children 6 and under are $9. The ski and snowboard school, equipment rental centers and day care will be operating. Food will be served at the popular Alpenstube bar and restaurant, as well as the Schuss and Tully’s coffee bar. Beverages will also be served on the Paradise Sun Deck.

Altitude Sports and the Meadows Boutique will celebrate the opening with a Thanksgiving Weekend Celebration with discounts of up to 30% off purchases to season pass holders, and 20% off safety equipment. The Paradise Parks crew will also have some rails set up for freestyling.

Resort officials plan to run lifts daily, although that could change depending on snow conditions. Resort operations and conditions are presented on the resort web site - www.skihood.com.

This year has been an exciting season for Snowboard manufacturers to produce the most efficient powder boards snowboarding has ever seen. With today’s innovations, integrating tapered shapes, wider nose profiles and reversed camber technology, snowboard manufacturers have taken soul searching to the hills. K2 snowboards has revived the sleeping beast of the late 80’s to a full throttle powder weapon of mass destruction know as the K2 Gyrator. Challenging the conventional thinking with a surf inspired Rocker built in, this K2 snowboard will help you float atop the deepest powder and explore terrain you have only dreamed about. Tried and true, the timeless all mountain stick, K2’s Eldorado comes in this season attacking all aspects of the vertical canvas. Wille Yli-Luoma’s board of choice, the K2 Eldorado snowboard combines the ultimate powder riding experience with all terrain freestyle perfection. Burton snowboards has also brought a legendary board back into their line with some technological tweaking. The Burton Supermodel has been redesigned, reshaped, and rebuilt, but embracing the same freeride philosophy that made it famous, the NEW Burton Supermodel blends 30 years of knowledge into the definitive snow-surfing ATV incorporating a 10mm tapering. A similar concept to the Burton Supermodel , Burton has also designed an even more exaggerated tapering to the Burton Fish. The Burton Fish is a pow-floating, earth-surfing speed demon, shaped for the ultimate deep snow experience. Those who don’t know will never understand. Get in the know.

Not to mention the secret workings behind Ride snowboards and Salomon snowboards. Each snowboard company has been delivering outstanding boards that are capable of taking you on uncharted territory never thought possible. The Salomon Burner snowboard has an attitude built to destroy quickly. You’ll be painting lines all over the mountain with brush of perfection. The Salomon Burner defines what modern freeriding consists of: effortless powerful turns at Mach 2 speeds, optimal trajectories to score all the first tracks and off-the-lip lofty ollies, all in one fluid run. Ride’s Decade brand-new 90A Slimewallsâ„¢ and Silencer 3 Tuned Coreâ„¢ combined with Carbon Array and classic Quadratic turning make this the ideal smooth Ride for the masses wanting all-around resort versatility.

Another year of endless snowfall of epic proportions is just around the corner and we are ready to take it on full force. Don’t be left in the dust without your powder board of choice. These bad boys will definitely keep you ahead of the pack and leave you wanting more. Remember, no friends on a powder day!

The season is rounding the corner and Trusnow has all your necessary needs to keep you safe this winter. Whether you’re and avid shredder or a menacing snowboard park phenom, we got you covered. As always, Burton snowboards, Smith optics, and Pro tec have been contributing powerhouses to the snowboard industry; creating the necessary tools to enhance your riding with confidence and stylish comfort. Please take a look at the protective gear we offer. Burton’s Red brings in another heavy hitter this season with the ever popular Mutiny helmet. With low profile design and removable earflaps you can take the hill by storm with the latest in premium comfort and progressive performance. Smith comes in with a protective audio helmet, the Holt. From the skate park to the terrain park, the Holt has you covered with a smooth style and a year-round convertible pad kit. Protec’s Vigilante has got your dome covered with low profiling and oversized earflap speakers. The new Vigilante offers low profile skate styling and technical performance. You get it all with the Vigilante. It delivers to allow you to take protection in your own hands.

Protection doesn’t only stand with your head, there are added benefits to keeping your body and limbs in tact for an extended snow season.
